He seldom received any recompense for his pianoforte
compositions, but generally wrote them for his friends, who were,
of course, anxious to possess some work of his for their own use,
and suited to their powers of playing. Artaria, a music-seller of
Vienna, and other members of the trade, contrived to get
possession of many of these pieces, and published them without
obtaining the author's consent, or making him any remuneration for
them. A Polish count, who was invited to a concert at Mozart's
house, heard a quintet performed for the first time, with which he
was so greatly delighted that he asked Mozart to compose for him a
trio for the flute. Mozart agreed, on condition that he should do
it at his own time. The count next day sent a polite note,
expressive of his thanks for the pleasure he had enjoyed, and,
along with it, one hundred gold demi-sovereigns (about ?100
sterling.) Mozart immediately sent him the original score of the
quintet that had pleased him so much.
